"But it's been autumn for almost a month now!" I can hear you saying. Yes, yes, which is why Southern Manitoba has been boasting spring or summer-like temperatures for the last week or so, and only cooling off within the last little while.
Why can't Manitoba always be in the 20 C range, or higher?
On that note, to quote a certain character from a certain fantasy book series that a certain George RR Martin needs to finish, "Winter is coming". And I'm not looking forward to what I'm sure will be a very cold winter this year. All in favour of relocating Prov to the Caribbean, say "Aye!".
What is further proof of the turning of the seasons beyond the sudden chill and the breaking out of hoodies, you ask?
Midterms! (And the university students all cringed and hid under their desks.) It is a reminder that the semester is half-over, despite what people think. This includes me, who looked at my calender this morning and said "What? But school just started! Don't I have lots of time before I have to finish that paper?"
... So I'm an inherent procrastinator. There. I said it.
As my last post may have hinted, the Canadian Thanksgiving was this weekend. Said weekend was spent with my roommate and her family, and it was highly enjoyable. Comic-Con and Halloween are also coming up at the end of the month- which are perfect excuses for me to find my interchangable Sith Lord/Nazgul/Dementor costume, procure either my (plastic) lightsabres or my (plastic) swords and act like a complete geek without getting too many weird looks. (Pictures coming after Comic-Con, if I remember.)
Also, an excess of candy and other sugar-loaded products. Because the kids aren't going to eat all of that junk food, and we post-secondary students firmly believe in not letting anything go to waste, right?
Those who say I'm terrifying on sugar or caffeine highs had best not come to near me for the week or so after Halloween. Just putting that out there.
And perhaps the biggest indicator that summer is dying? Today in choir, we broke out the Christmas carols and were informed that time is growing short before we have to perform them.
I'm not complaining. I have a special place in my heart for Christmas melodies. But I refuse to put them on my iPod until after Rememberance Day.
Of course, Kutless did just come out with a new Christmas album, which I should consider investing in at some point in the near-ish future.
Tomorrow I'll attempt to come up with a relevant, interesting topic besides the seasons' change. Apologies to my WFTM professor.
*scurries back to the lair with a mug of hot chocolate and a good book* The perfect way to spend a fall day, no? Yes.
